I love being an auntie! This spring will bring me two more nephews, so excited! Since my own son has long out grown these fun ideas, I need cute little boys to make them for. Thank you Brie and Annika for giving me opportunities to have some creative fun.
I had seen these in stores and didn't want to spend a ton of money. I found the pattern and tutorial here. It was very clear and easy to follow.
My sister decided to decorate in a monster theme for her little one. I found lots of great ideas, I was inspired by this Halloween post. She was keeping the baby's name a secret until Christmas but I convinced her to tell me the first initial.
I wanted to find a plain colored t-shirt but I was short on time and couldn't find what I was looking for. I happened to find a sweatshirt that fit the bill. I was really pleased how they turned out. I can't wait to see pictures.
I did a couple of versions, that way he can have something fun to wear for a while. One tip to share, don't use hot glue. My machine was not happy when it got gummed up from the glue. I was trying to find quick way to stick the layers together, there were several. I wanted to do a quick overstitch to give it a finished look. But the needle started skipping stitches once it went through a spot of glue. I'm hoping to try another slower type of glue or be more careful where I use the hot glue.
